Wedding Registry

When we first started planning our wedding, we truly didn’t intend to create a registry. However, after many sweet requests from friends and family, we decided to put one together. As we began our life together and moved in, we made do with a mix of hand-me-downs and a few “just to get us started” pieces. Our registry includes home items we don’t yet have — or ones we’d love to upgrade — as we continue building our home together. Please know that gifts are absolutely not expected. Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could receive, and that alone means the world to us. If you do feel moved to give, your generosity is deeply appreciated and will be cherished. We are simply so grateful to celebrate this season with you. 🤍 View our registry <a href="https://www.amazon.com/wedding/share/thelins" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.

Things to Do (Houston)

Our Gallery

It all began at a little boba shop called Ding Tea. What was meant to be a quick one-hour meetup turned into four hours of conversation — the kind that makes the world around you disappear. They talked about everything: family, values, hopes for the future. The connection was instant, easy, and quietly electric.At one point, Andy reached out and asked if he could hold Isabella’s hand — not just to be close, but, as he claimed, to read her future. He held it gently, studied it like it meant something… and then, without a word, interlocked their fingers and smiled. "It’s a perfect fit," he said.Their second date wasn’t dinner or drinks — it was Jenga, with every block holding a question Isabella had written by hand. Some were light and silly, others deep and revealing. They talked about childhoods and personal growth, favorite memories and ridiculous hypotheticals (yes, including whether they’d rather fight 100 duck-sized horses or one horse-sized duck). There was laughter — so much laughter — and underneath it all, something real began to take root.By the third date, they had already met each other’s parents. They were sharing hobbies, trading little glimpses into the lives they led before finding each other.For Andy, it was love at first sight. For Isabella, it was a slow bloom — a love that deepened with every moment Andy showed up. And he always did. Whether it was standing awkwardly at her door with flowers, or gently showing her she could trust in being loved well, Andy gave her space and time… and his whole heart.One year later, surrounded by her grandfather and their closest friends, Andy asked her to marry him.This wedding isn’t the end of the story. It’s the beginning of something even more beautiful — a promise to love, to hold, to grow, through every season of life, in this one and the ones that follow.
